Leadership Lessons That Shape the Leader Within



Leadership isn’t found in titles. It’s built in moments—hard decisions, honest conversations, and the quiet work of showing up well for others.



In Leadership Impact, Aaron Patience shares 50 short, real-life stories from his decades in leadership—stories shaped by wins and failures, hallway conversations, team meetings, and unexpected turning points. These reflections speak directly to leaders who want to make a difference without pretending to have all the answers.



Aaron writes with honesty and care, drawing on years of coaching, building high-performing teams, and investing in people at every level of an organization. Whether you’re a first-time manager or a seasoned executive, you’ll find value in this grounded, no-fluff approach.
